Jaddi Cape

Jaddi Cape projects from the Makran coast south of Pasni, with the hill of Zarrénay Koh rising on the headland. Offshore lies Astola, known to Baloch sailors as Haptalar. In 1774 the surveyor Blair heard at Pasni that the island was enchanted and that a ship had been turned to stone there. Fishermen visited Astola during the northeast monsoon, while Hindu pilgrims associated it with the goddess Kali.
